Hayley Evans

Operations Director

About Hayley

I find that being efficient and effective with good organisation skills really helps the team to flourish and compliments my natural leadership skills of motivation, coordination, skill mixing and supporting the team.

My job satisfaction has transitioned from being hands on supporting on a day-to-day bases to management.

My quality background has helped me to achieve my current goals within operations, this by my own understanding of an outstanding service, goes above and beyond legislations, guidelines.

I feel I have good emotional intelligence when managing staff, to identify people's strength and development needs quickly and ensure that these are developed in line with what the company expectations are.

I am a strong leader that ensures the companies objectives are incorporated in the ethos of each service as well as in the managers practices which is then rolled down the individual teams.
